Felix
Felix Hal Gremory is the eldest son of Demon Lord Luciel, the half-brother of Chiffon, and the mortal chosen as Ahriman's Heir of Darkness. He rises from an insecure crown prince building a political faction into the commander of the Demon Army and a Pseudo-God who wages a war of conquest across the Central Continent. His power depends increasingly on coercion: he subjugates clans, uses the Mark of Darkness against the prophesied Brides, and steals abilities from women who fall under his control.
Felix and Aka Manah are treated here as one reconciled character identity with two wills. Felix is the green-haired demon whose body, ambitions, and crimes form the mortal career; Aka Manah is one of Ahriman's Council of Demons, sealed in the Crimson Crown of Darkness and eventually possessing Felix completely. The possessed body still carries Felix's history and accumulated powers, while the narrative distinguishes the possessing spirit from Felix when both are destroyed. The God of the Sun named Felix in Chapter 94 is a separate mythological figure, not Felix Hal Gremory.
Biography
An heir shaped by the Gremory household
Felix grows up in a family where fear is the principal instrument of authority. As a boy he joins his siblings in tormenting Chiffon, once luring his starving half-sister outside so that the family can cover her with refuse and rotten food. He is also a victim of Luciel's brutality. When Luciel discovers the plot that caused Chiffon's mother's death, he gives the fifteen-year-old Felix a choice between killing his own mother, Natasha, and dying with her. Felix stabs Natasha to survive, then obeys a second order to finish killing her. That history explains his fear of Luciel and his fixation on power, but it does not excuse the cruelty he continues to direct at Chiffon and others. (Chapters 611, 620, 643)
As an adult, Felix is handsome, proud, and politically calculating. He knows that his title will vanish when Luciel leaves the throne, so he cultivates candidates who use Dark Magic and builds a faction that can support his succession. He offers rewards to ambitious prodigies, privileges candidates who pledge themselves to him, and treats lower-ranked explorers as expendable scouts for the Ancient Ruins. His ambition is already global before his transformation: he promises his followers that the world is theirs to take, while privately searching for secrets that will let him eclipse both his father and rival candidates. (Chapters 960–967, 983)
The crown, Aka Manah, and a condemned soul
The Ancient Ruins become a Slaughter Domain in which candidates must kill to qualify as the Heir of Darkness. Felix sacrifices his army's lives, reaches the Crown of Darkness, and emerges as Ahriman's chosen heir. The crown raises him to the peak of the Myriad realm, grants authority over the Mark of Darkness, and links him to Ahriman and Aka Manah. Felix overthrows Luciel, takes the Demon throne, and forces the clan patriarchs to swear loyalty under threat of extermination. He then invades the Central Continent, conquering capitals and absorbing the abilities of women placed under his power until he reaches the Pseudo-God rank. His lack of genuine combat experience remains visible even at high rank: William, hardened by repeated wars against stronger opponents, repeatedly outmaneuvers him in direct exchanges. (Chapters 1059–1089, 1132, 1163, 1246–1257)
Aka Manah eventually takes complete control of Felix's mortal body and identifies the possessed Heir as one of Ahriman's Council of Demons. He tries to corrupt William by tearing open the darkness in his heart, but instead releases a berserk power he cannot contain. William destroys the Crown, devours Aka Manah's exposed soul, and then kills Felix and absorbs his Core of Darkness. Felix's soul reaches the Underworld, where he again gathers followers and uses the lingering Mark to hunt Celine. He reaches her prison in the Tower of Wrath and tries to compel her to kill her unborn child, but William arrives and destroys his body repeatedly with divine lightning. Underworld officials identify Felix's crimes as including genocide, rape, and kidnapping; his soul is removed from the Plains of Wrath and sentenced to two hundred years in the River of Hell before it can become eligible for reincarnation. (Chapters 1253–1263, 1310–1316)
Appearance and personality
Felix is a handsome male demon with green hair and blood-red eyes. As Ahriman's heir, he wears the Crimson Crown of Darkness and can cover himself in pitch-black armor or black flames. Aka Manah's possession retains Felix's recognizable body but adds clawed hands and the bearing of an older demonic will; the story nevertheless continues to refer to that physical vessel as Felix's body. (Chapters 611, 960–967, 1070, 1253–1256)
He is ambitious, resentful, sadistic, and deeply insecure about respect. Felix recruits through promises when useful and terror when he gains the power to make terror effective. He enjoys humiliating people who cannot resist him, particularly women he treats as possessions, but quickly loses composure against opponents who can truly overpower him. His conduct in the Underworld demonstrates that death produces no reform: he rebuilds a hierarchy through violence, pursues Celine, and uses control magic against her unborn child. His panic when William appears exposes the fear beneath his declarations of supremacy. (Chapters 611–620, 960–983, 1132, 1253–1257, 1311–1316)
Skills, classes, and divinities
- Demon physiology and Dark Magic: Felix possesses the strength, flight, durability, and Dark Magic expected of an elite demon. The Crown steadily raises him to the peak of the Myriad rank, and subsequent absorption lets him enter the Pseudo-God rank. Rank does not supply experience: William identifies Felix's limited history of fighting equal or stronger foes as a major weakness. (Chapters 960–967, 1070–1072, 1256–1257)
- Crimson Crown of Darkness: The crown recognizes Felix as Heir, amplifies his power, connects him to Ahriman, and contains Aka Manah. It is also a point of failure. Aka Manah cannot freely leave the artifact without Ahriman's permission, and when William's anti-divine power cracks and destroys the crown, the possessing spirit is exposed and devoured. (Chapters 1067–1070, 1104, 1253–1258)
- Mark of Darkness: As the recognized Heir, Felix can command women marked as Brides of Darkness. Celine can resist an order physically for a time, but she cannot simply dismiss it; rage and outside intervention are required to break or interrupt the compulsion. The Mark persists strongly enough for Felix's soul to sense and command her in the Underworld. (Chapters 1074–1077, 1311–1313)
- Ability absorption: Felix takes skills and abilities from women under his control, including Hell Fire and numerous high-level spells. The accumulated powers drive his rise toward Pseudo-God rank, but borrowed breadth does not give him mastery equal to a veteran who developed comparable techniques through combat. (Chapters 1246, 1257, 1327)
- Aka Manah's possession: Aka Manah can completely control Felix's body and use the Crown as a vessel. The possessing demon can manipulate darkness, protect itself with a powerful dome, pierce spiritual cores, and awaken corrupt powers in others. Its strength is limited by Felix's mortal vessel and the intact crown; when both fail, Aka Manah's will is destroyed separately from Felix. (Chapters 1253–1258, 1263)
- Spear combat: Felix wields the Spear of Lazarus as a principal weapon after becoming the Heir. He combines it with armor, darkness, and stolen spells, but it does not prevent stronger divine or anti-divine attacks from reaching him. (Chapters 1070–1089, 1246–1256)
Power progression
| Stage / Realm / Ability | Chapter(s) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Heir of Darkness / peak Myriad | 1059–1089 | Wins the Crimson Crown through a lethal selection, gains Ahriman's patronage and control of marked Brides, and rises to the peak Myriad realm. |
| Ability absorption / Pseudo-God | 1132–1257 | Takes skills from controlled women until reaching Pseudo-God, gaining breadth without the experience of fighters who developed comparable power themselves. |
| Aka Manah possession | 1253–1258 | Loses complete control of his body to the spirit housed in the Crown; its extra darkness and defenses remain limited by Felix's mortal vessel and the intact artifact. |
| Crown destroyed / Core of Darkness absorbed / death | 1258–1263 | William breaks the crown, devours Aka Manah separately, kills Felix, and takes his Core, ending both the borrowed spirit and Felix's living power. |
| Underworld remnant and River of Hell sentence | 1310–1316 | Rebuilds a following as a soul and still exploits Celine's Mark, but repeated destruction ends in a two-hundred-year punitive sentence rather than advancement. |
Relationships
- Luciel: Luciel is Felix's father, ruler, and earliest model of authority through terror. Felix fears him, plots to inherit his position, and ultimately returns with the Crown to demand his submission. (Chapters 620, 960–983, 1088–1089)
- Chiffon: Chiffon is Felix's half-sister and one of his childhood victims. He participates in starving and humiliating her, and the resulting trauma shapes her Heart Devil and William's hatred of him. (Chapters 611–620, 643, 1072)
- Ahriman: Ahriman chooses Felix as his heir, supplies divine authority through the Crown, and intends to use his victories to return fully to the world. Felix gains enormous power from the alliance but remains expendable: Ahriman treats the survival of his heir as instrumental to his own restoration. (Chapters 1067–1104, 1132, 1207, 1253–1258)
- William: William opposes Felix as Chiffon's husband, a rival power of Darkness, and the protector of the women Felix tries to claim. Their conflict ends with William destroying Aka Manah and Felix, absorbing their cores, and later ensuring that Felix's soul is sent to the River of Hell. (Chapters 643, 1061–1078, 1241–1263, 1310–1316)
- Celine and Celeste: Prophecy identifies the twins as Brides of Darkness, but neither gives Felix meaningful consent. He uses the Mark to control Celine and later pursues her soul into the Underworld; Celeste regards his attention with disgust and pities the women whose abilities he stole. (Chapters 1074–1078, 1311–1316, 1327, 1353)
- Aka Manah: Aka Manah is the demonic will sealed within Felix's crown, not a second standalone biography in this wiki. Once it takes over Felix's body, their actions share a vessel but remain mechanically separable: William destroys Aka Manah's soul first and Felix's core afterward. (Chapters 1253–1263)
Items
- Crimson Crown of Darkness: The Divine Artifact that confirms Felix as Heir and houses Aka Manah. It grants power and authority but also binds the possessing spirit; destroying it makes Aka Manah vulnerable. (Chapters 1067–1070, 1104, 1253–1258)
- Spear of Lazarus: Felix's signature spear during his rule as Heir of Darkness. He uses it to threaten Luciel and in later battles alongside his Dark Magic. (Chapters 1088–1089, 1246–1256)
- Pitch-black armor: Felix manifests dark armor during his battle with William. It improves his defense but cannot compensate for the experience gap or withstand William's later anti-divine berserk state. (Chapters 1070–1072, 1254–1256)
